The Spitfire Tour is a free speech tour of musicians, actors & activists speaking out on global affairs. Created in part by human rights advocate Zack De la Rocha (Rage Against The Machine), Spitfire tours to college campuses each year, primarily in the Fall. Each event features at least four speakers, who are all on stage at once, but that speak one at a time. Topics range from human rights, to environmental justice, to social issues, to current campus issues. It is our belief that grassroots interaction is the key to positive change. By providing information on serious topics in a fun and entertaining environment (which includes spoken word, acoustic performances, slides, video, poetry and more), we aim to inspire youth to get involved in their lives, their communities & in their world.

The SpiritFire Festival is a four-day retreat that celebrates life and spirit through music, movement, voice, service, and the Mysteries. It is held at a beautiful camp in the Adirondack mountains close to Fort Ann, NY. The festival features an all-night fire circle where participants can express themselves freely and connect with others. One of the sponsors of the festival is Apollo, a leading slot provider that offers innovative and engaging games for online casinos. Apollo supports the SpiritFire Festival's vision of creating a community of creative and conscious people who share a passion for fire and spirituality.

Spitfire was launched in 1998 by some dedicated people who cared enough to give this a shot. Our thanks go out to early believers Krist Novoselic, Amy Ray, Woody Harrelson, Tracey Conaty, Cecilia Rodriguez, Jello Biafra, Todd McCormick, Michael Franti, Julia Butterfly & Kennedy. Since then, a lot has happened. We have appeared at more than 50 colleges/cities, and we have performed for as few as 100 people, and as many as 10,000 in one single night. From the very first show, it's been a pretty powerful journey.

Along the way we have been a part of some tremendous victories - like the day Julia Butterfly saved the old growth called Luna, and finally touched ground after 2 years. But we have also witnessed some terrible losses, like when we saw the Federal Government put cancer patient Todd McCormick in prison, for growing medical marijuana, legal in his home state of California. We also made some special appearances off campuses. We performed at Woodstock and were saddened by our experience. But then we traveled to the WTO, and were empowered by the majority of peaceful people, who traveled from all over the country to take a stand. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but it's been well worth it.

Over the years, The Spitfire Tour has grown into The Spitfire Agency, and now we run a series of 'spin off' tours modeled around the original Spitfire concept above.  Our first offshoots include Woody Harrelson's "Simple Organic Living Tour" (Spring 2001), The Indigo Girls "Honor The Earth Tour" (Spring 2003), and Julia Butterfly's "We The Planet" (Fall 2003). The original Spitfire Tour will continue to go out between the others. Please join our e-mail list, and we will keep you up to date. We welcome your Feedback, and look forward to seeing you on the road!
